It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Anderson, resident of Hearthstone, at Joseph Brant Hospital on May 9, 2023.
She is predeceased by her husband, Walter. She is survived by her 3 beloved sons Robert, Ian (Ruth), and Neil (Deborah). She is also survived by her 3 grandsons George, Andrew and Jonathon.
Mary and Walter travelled the world together but were also dedicated gardeners and curlers.
Mary trained as a nurse at Wellesley Hospital, left nursing to raise her family, but returned when her youngest entered high school.
For many years the entire family enjoyed going to the cottage on Lake Muskoka until Mary’s health precluded her going.
Mary liked to hike with a group of friends, and after moving to Hearthstone by the Lake included the Lake Ontario shoreline.
Visitation will be held at Smith’s Funeral Home, Brant Street Chapel, 485 Brant Street, Burlington on Wednesday, May 24 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. A private interment will take place at a later date.
While Mary will be sincerely missed by her family and all who knew her, we are happy she is reunited with Walter.
Sincere thanks are offered to the nurses and doctors of the Joseph Brant Hospital Palliative Care Unit and the staff at Hearthstone by the Lake.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the
Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation or
Parkinson's Canada Inc.
